Tool Gallery

Tool Bazaar RARE and UNUSUAL tools from my own collection

In this NEW gallery section of my web site I have put together a collection of RARE and UNUSUAL tools from my own collection. I hope you enjoy looking at some of these items. I hope to add more items to this section as time goes by but for now you can content yourselves with the entries below. None of them are for sale by the way !!!!!

Here we have an EXTREMELY RARE Scottish late 18th century beech plough by STEWART of Edinburgh. This has the rare feature of a brass thumb screw adjustable fence. It works by having hollow arms with a threaded rod inside. It is the same design as the plough plane found in the Seaton tool chest by Gabriel and pictured on page 32 of the Seaton book. As far as I am aware this is the only named 18th century Scottish example of this type of plough plane known.
